8. What would the FDA do to expedite drug development and approval for an outbreak of
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




smallpox, for which there is no known treatment?
b b b b b b b b




a. List smallpox as a health orphan disease.
b b b b b b




b. Omit the preclinical research phase. b b b b




c. Extend the clinical research phase. b b b b




d. Fast track the investigational drug.
b b b b




ANS: D b




Once the Investigational New Drug Application has been approved, the drug can receive highest
b b b b b b b b b b b b b




priority within the agency, which is called fast tracking. A smallpox outbreak would become a
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




priority concern in the world. Orphan diseases are not researched in a priority manner. Preclinical
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




research is not omitted. Extending any phase of the research would mean a longer time to develop
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




a vaccine. The FDA must ensure that all phases of the preclinical and clinical research phase have
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




been completed in a safe manner.
